Planting Project Visits Riverside Park

A green fingered army recently took part in an environmental project at Riverside Park in Trethomas.
Pupils from Tyn Y Wern Primary School took part in a planting project, during which hundreds of native bluebells and snowdrops were planted in the woodland and daffodils at the park entrance to enhance the area. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The pupils were supported by Sophie Gibbs from DS Smith Recycling, Tim Wort and Andy Kind from Keep Wales Tidy, local resident Billy Hughes and members of Caerphilly County Borough Council’s Countryside and Cleansing Teams. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Cllr Nigel George, Cabinet Member for Community and Leisure Services said: “I would like to thank the pupils from Plas Y Felin Primary School, the students from Coleg Y Cymoedd and Caerphilly County Borough Council’s Tidy Team and Countryside Team. They should be all very proud of their efforts in helping to improve the quality of the local environment. Caerphilly County Borough Council will be continuing this environmental improvement work throughout the winter and will help us meet the objectives of Welsh Government’s Wellbeing of Future Generations Act”. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
